Selected Storm.
Our ChildhOOd's Home.

When dashing DER the billowy sea,
Or crossing mountains wild and free,
Though scenes allure whereer we roam,
There's nought can Danish thoughts of home.
The place wherever we were born,
Stately, humble, cen forlorn,
Possesses charms our thoughts to chain
Around that dear loved spot again.
Though fortune may our way attend,
Though every stranger seem friend
And honor, fame and great renown
In large success our efforts crown,
Yet, in the shadowy evening gray,
AS oft in solitude we stray,
Our thoughts DER memorys waste will roam
Cross land and sea to childhood's home.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook About eighteen months ago she became
sickly and had o cough and was confined TO
bed, and it was thought that she had consump-
ton. The treatment by physicians failed to
give relief In December, 1854, node or knot
the size of goose egg formed just above the
nit of the stomach which when lanced dis
charged matter for or . months. One of
these also formed under her arm, and three on
her back, which discharged matter for con-
siderable time. For six months OF this time
she was confined to the house, and most of
the time in bed. The stomach often refused
food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She
used great deal of medicine but failed 10 be
cured. I bought one bottle of your b. b. b.
made in Atlanta, Ga.,) and gave 1t to her and
she commenced to improve. l then bought
and gave her three bottles more, and she con-
tinued to improve and in two months time
her cough had ceased, her constitution strength
ened, appetite and digestion good, all dischar-
ges ceased nodes or knots disappeared and she
went to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman had a married sister of near
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She had
node or knot on pit of stomach, back, etc.
She did not take any B. B. B. and the node on
her stomach ate through to the cavity. She
continued on the decline and wasted away,
and finally died.
These were two terrible cases ofblood poison,
one used b. b. b. and was speedily cured
the other did not use it and died. 1t is most
assuredly a most wonderful blood purifier.

Part-Songs and GIees.
THos. T. Bay1rd, Secretary.

Another good book for chorus-societies,
singing-clubs, and the like. 1t is entitled
"Emerson's Part-Songs and Gless," and is
a collection of music written for mixed
voices, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, with
accompaniment for piano or organ. Emer-
sons music is easily understood, and has,
as it were, soft curve to it that bends cas-
lily to every Fiction of the vocal organs, and
has natural and graceful intervals, such as
singers and hearers both take to. This
new collection of four part songs bears out
and verifies the popular estimate of the
compiler. Do not look here for very diff
cult, or "high- cultured" or mystic, or chro-
matte music, or for any of that which, un'
doubtedly good, is understood by so few.
These glees, or part-songs, however, are not
to any extent original compositions, but are
arrangements and selections, in which we
have to trust as we can, implicitly |, the
good taste and judgment of the compiler,
and has tact in fitting music to tie voices
of ordinary singers. The book is of con-
yenient octave size. 176 pages, and nicely
printed, with the voice parts on separate
stats. Sent to any address on receipt of
price, 81 and liberal discounts given to
clubs aud associations, by the publishers,
